An evacuation of more than 300 homes was under way after a suspected unexploded World War II device was found off the coast of Cornwall, England.
The suspected 250kg American ordnance was located in water near Falmouth Docks on Monday.
Cornwall Council and Devon and Cornwall Police put a 750-metre cordon in place and urged all residents within the area to leave their homes.
A military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team was assessing the device.
Superintendent Vicky Howell said: "We have extended the cordon around Falmouth Docks following the discovery of a suspected unexploded ordnance device.
"Specialist Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers are on the scene and we are working closely with our partner agencies to manage the incident safely.
"We would like to thank local residents, businesses and members of the public for their patience and cooperation while this incident is ongoing.
"We ask people to continue avoiding the area and to follow any instructions given by emergency services personnel."
